As a child playing outside, a bus worker stopped by my house and told me of a really exciting and fun place where we could play games, receive prizes, and learn about the Bible and Jesus! I wanted to go so badly, but my mother said, “No.” Every week the bus workers would ask if I could come, and every week my mom would say the same thing. One day, they told me it would be Carnival Sunday, and my brother suddenly became interested. I went that day, and I LOVED it! Before long, I was bus visiting WITH my bus workers, and translating Spanish for them. I still work on that same bus route.
I’m Maria Donato, and I’m a bus kid!
